Safer Internet Day 2022

The theme for Safer Internet Day 2022, on Tuesday, 8 February, is ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’. 

From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people shape the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of.  Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.

In order to mark this day, and following on from the success of last year, we have once again invited guest speaker Sharon Girling OBE, to run a series of educational talks and workshops at the College.  Sharon Girling is a former law enforcement officer with extensive experience in developing and initiating national and international entities responding to child abuse.  She initiated the policing of child abuse on the internet in the United Kingdom developing the concept for the national unit, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
